The Effect of Complex Strength Training on Some Physical Fitness Parameters in Martial Arts Athletes

Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of complex training practices on selected physical fitness parameters in combat sports athletes. Methods: The experimental group participating in the study (n=15; 20.1±1.5 age; height 178.2±5.6 cm and body weight 74.4±15.1 kg) underwent martial arts technique and tactic + complex training, while the control group (n=14; 22.1±0.9 age; height 174.4 ± 4.6 cm and body weight 79.4 ± 11.5 kg) participated only in martial arts technique and tactic training. The eight-week training process involved martial arts technique and tactic training for both the experimental and control groups. In addition, the experimental group participated in complex training three days a week. Within the scope of the study, participants' body composition, right hand grip, leg and back muscle strength, right and left-hand grip strength, and dynamic balance levels were evaluated. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS 22.0 software package, and the ANCOVA data analysis method was applied. The significance level was set at p<0.05. Results: According to the data analysis results, there is a significant difference in favor of the experimental group in terms of skin fold thickness, circumference values, back and leg strength, and dynamic balance scores in terms of group time interaction. Conclusion: In line with the findings obtained in this study, it is seen that eight weeks of complex training applications provide significant changes in body composition, isometric strength, and dynamic balance levels in athletes active in martial arts.

Dövüş Sanatları Sporcularında Kompleks Kuvvet Antrenmanlarının Bazı Fiziksel Uygunluk Parametrelerine Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, kompleks antrenman uygulamalarının dövüş sanatları sporcularında bazı fiziksel uygunluk parametreleri üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Yöntem: Çalışmaya katılan deney grubu (n=15; 20,1±1,5 yaş; boy uzunluğu 178,2± 5,6 cm ve vücut ağırlığı; 74,4 ± 15,1 kg) dövüş sanatları teknik ve taktik + kompleks antrenman uygularken kontrol grubu (n=14; 22,1±0,9 yaş; boy uzunluğu 174,4 ± 4,6 cm ve vücut ağırlığı; 79,4 ± 11,5 kg) ise sadece dövüş sanatları teknik ve taktik antrenmanına katılmışlardır. Sekiz haftalık antrenman süreci, deney ve kontrol grubu dövüş sanatları teknik ve taktik antrenmanları uygulanmıştır. Ayrıca deney grubu haftada üç gün kompleks antrenmanına katılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında katılımcıların vücut kompozisyonları, bacak ve sırt kas kuvveti, sağ ve sol el pençe kuvveti ile dinamik denge düzeyleri değerlendirilmiştir. Veri analizi için SPSS 22.0 paket programı ile değerlendirilmiş, ANCOVA veri analiz yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Anlamlılık düzeyi p<0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Veri analizi sonuçlarına göre grup zaman etkileşimi bakımından deri kıvrım kalınlıkları, çevre değerleri, sağ el kavrama, sırt ve bacak kuvveti, dinamik denge skorlarında deney grubunun lehine anlamlı bir farklılık söz konusudur. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda, sekiz haftalık kompleks antrenman uygulamalarının dövüş sanatlarında aktif olan sporcularda vücut kompozisyonu, izometrik kuvvet ve dinamik denge düzeylerinde anlamlı düzeyde değişim sağladığı görülmektedir.
